License plate question

Got a question hoping someone can help. I have a '78 F-150 and I'd like to put the old Bicentennial plates on it that I have. I plan on doing current registration with inspection, but wondered if anyone has tried this before and would DMV allow it?

They're vintage/old. I would have a current registration on them (2014 sticker). I just wanted to use the bicentennial plates because they would/could have been used on the truck back in the day.

It has antique plates now, but I don't care for the restrictions of antique tags. Since the truck would pass inspection, I thought just go with a regular passenger registration and hopefully use these particular plates.

There's a section in the Code of VA that allows for the continued use of Bicentennial plates, so that might be an in for me.
